I'll have to make the effort to watch Amelie and Hotel Rwanda this weekend.

Bought them, but just not got round to watching them. Could well influence my top ten.

I think you'll like Amelie, you're a big soppy romantic really aren't you?

Hotel Rwanda is fantastic.

I forgot Human Traffic, so I now have 8.

[STFC Village]

No votes for The Greatest Film of All Time-namely "The Deer Hunter".

I fell asleep during that, dull as dishwater! Although, Chris Walken is a legend

Obviously like loads of the others thats gone before, Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Die Hard 1, Goodfella's, Trainspotting, Taxi driver.

Godafther 3 was a bit shit but it did tie the whole trilogy up quite well. I tend to look at the 3 films as one rather than seperate entities.

Some thoughts for some older stuff.

Dr. Stranglove is worth viewing if you haven't seen it.  

A Japanese movie called Ran is incredible (a cast of thousands, literally).

Lawerence of Arabia, the mirage scene is worth seeing the entire movie for.

Incredible Lightness of Being (full frontal artistic smut).

Bananas, Woody Allen, early stuff really took the piss out of the establishment.

Young Frankenstein, the props were the same ones from the Boris Karloff era (apparantly found in a garage), great cast including Marty Feldman, extremely funny.

Any Will Hay movie, like "Oh Mr Porter," incredibly old but Will Hay was a comic genius.

Catch 22, good rendition of the book's dark humour.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the Black Knight is cinematic history.

and finally,

The Life of Brian, great gladiatorial, and science fiction, scenes.

[Sade]

Dazzzzzzza thats not nice I'm not into boring geeky confusing films like you lot are,I like the simple funny ones

Myne

Signs
The others
Billy Elliot
Bring it on( )
Bruce Almighty
Hide and seek
You got served(I love my dance films )
Ring 2
Dumb and Dumberer
The grinch!

  Sorry Sade, but I have got to say it ,your top ten sounds like tantamount to torture to me!

But I dare say mine is not exactly most peoples choice of viewing either.

[Sippo]

Does no-one like this film?
